The Company's operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026. The following supplements and updates the risk factor previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Geopolitical tensions and potential military conflicts may materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current and potential military conflicts, along with heightened geopolitical tensions globally, including the ongoing conflict between Israel/Iran and instability in Eastern Europe could adversely impact our operations, global economic conditions and commodity markets. Such events may cause significant disruptions to global supply chains, such as delays in shipping through critical routes like the Strait of Hormuz, increased costs for fuel and energy, and restricted access to key raw materials for our operations. These conditions may result in higher operating costs and reduced margins.
Such conflicts may also contribute to market volatility, fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, access to capital and investor sentiment, which could adversely affect our stock price and the cost of financing. Furthermore, the imposition of economic sanctions, export controls or other trade restrictions by the U.S. or other governments may limit our ability to conduct business in certain regions, disrupt international trade flows and affect demand for our products.
Although we maintain risk management and mitigation programs, we cannot assure that these measures will successfully prevent or lessen the impact of political, regulatory, and trade-related risks on our operations and financial results. If these tensions escalate or persist, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
